Page 4, October 17, 1964, Demon with a Glass Hand, an out of place artifact. Similar to Lost in Space where they were trying to understand Forbidden Planet and the origins of this planet, Demon With a Glass hand, had a stargate door, a more highly evolved Robbie the robot, like Bicentennial Man film, and the admission that you all went extinct.
He did not. He had all your souls or your personality files etched onto a wire attached to his thorax, waiting for rescue or similar.
The admission we live in the matrix, the admission, that your souls are data in a file system.
A talking computer for a hand, on a robot that would pass for a human. Yet a gap between the robot and his own hand.
This symbolizes the machinery and how it is separated into different machines doing different tasks.
The woman in the show unable to accept that he is not human. She could not be in a relationship with him, once she found out.
They seem to just breeze over the logical inconsistency of things like that but felt it was necessary to point that out.
So after 2001 they were reset back to 1964 and this sort of information was added by the overseers who reset them. People jumped in around 1978. And that is marked by the remake of the body snatchers you body snatchers.
"On the way to Kibner, a hysterical man warns Elizabeth and Matthew of danger as a mob pursues him."
And from the earlier show.. Demon with a Glass Hand, "For reasons unknown to him, Trent was sent into the past via a "time mirror", located in the building. A captured Kyben tells Trent that both of them are from a thousand years in the future."
Kibner, Kyben,
Beat nik, Beat les, plenty of word play everywhere.
"In the 1978 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the famous "they're here" (specifically "They're coming!" or "They're already here!") shout occurs early in the film, delivered by Kevin McCarthy."
"The Scene: McCarthy, who starred as the lead in the original 1956 version, appears in a cameo as Dr. Miles Bennell, running down the street in a panic."
So like Paul McCartney you beam into your body from storage. Bodies that were made for you. and this happened in 1978 because by then admin felt the coast was clear.
And so now once again the coast is clear, you have reached the mountain pass, you are in the new country, and who knows what the future will bring. Life is what you make it I guess. You are hard at work making Robbie the robot, and the A.I. that he can used as a hand.
Of course another remake of Body Snatchers in 1993 as the data was moved into the new digital simulator in 1992.
